Does Anyone Know A True White Vanilla Cake Recipe

It is my birthday and wanted to make a white vanilla cake and every recipe i try offline is like poundcake help!
I use the one of the Whimsical Bakehouse, its realllly white, only eggwhites in it and vanilla essence and not a pound like. I like it a lot, it's sweet but has a great bouncy texture, I always fill it with something a bit fresh like lemon curd and cream or something with raspberry.
Here is the recipe:
6 ounces unsalted butter
2 cups of sugar
1,5 teaspoon of salt
Beat all this together at high speed until light and fluffy.
On a piece of wax paper, sift together
3 1/3 cups cake flour
1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder
3/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture alternately with:
1 1/4 cups milk
3/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extrakt
In a seperate bowl beat until foamy
3/4 cup egg whites (about 6 to 8 large egg whites)
Continue beating at high speed while gradually adding:
1/2 cup sugar
When stiff peaks form (not to stiff!!) fold in the whites into the batter with a rubber spatula. Blend just until the whites are evenly distributed.
Yields: 9 cups of batter for 2 10" pans, fill one of the pans with 31/2 cups and the other one with the rest. Bake for 20-25 minutes (the less fuller pan) and 30-35 minutes for the fuller pan at 350ºF.
Recipe from the Whimsical Bakehouse (White Butter Cake) by Kaye and Live Hansen.

this one was submitted on another post as most moist white cake ever. i know the title says "coconut" but the cake itself is not really coconut despite the cream of coconut. it's a lovely light just off-white cake that tastes like vanilla heaven 
.
this may not be the truly white, but it is very close and it screams "cake" not "pound cake"
